Making Sabertooth the Strongest on the Continent

Hughes initially had no intention of taking over the Sabertooth guild.

While pondering how to settle Minerva, he suddenly remembered that when he joined the Fairy Tail guild, the system had indicated that his identity was that of a member of the Fairy Tail Pirates.

Although the system he possesses is strange and somewhat erratic, it is essentially connected to the world of One Piece.

The Mage Guild is considered a pirate crew, while the Magic Council corresponds to the Navy in the pirate world.

In the world of One Piece, forming a pirate crew and becoming a captain is the mainstream.

So, if I become the captain, which means I become the president of the Mage Guild, will it trigger a hidden system quest?

In the Fairy Tail world, to establish a mage guild, one must first obtain approval from the Magic Council and then gain the recognition of the local town's residents before establishing a base in the town.

After the establishment of the Mage Guild, it will need to be managed and its reputation spread.

It's fair to say that building a completely new mage guild from scratch is an incredibly difficult task.

But now there's a good opportunity: skip all the steps and directly take over the Sabertooth Guild.

As Hughes expected, after being confirmed as the guild leader of the Sabertooth Guild, the system notification sounded in Hughes' mind.

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking a new identity. Your current identity is a member of the Fairy Tail Pirates /Captain of the Sabertooth Pirates.]

[Host detected as captain of the Sabertooth Pirates. The seventh sub-quest of the epic quest chain "Pirate Journey, " Fame Far and Wide, " has been unlocked.]

[Fame Far and Wide: Leading the Sabertooth Pirates to become the number one pirate crew in the East Blue!]

[Note: Two sub-quests of the epic quest chain "Pirate Journey" have been completed. Completing all three sub-quests will unlock an additional Devil Fruit Slot!]

The third sub-task he had been eagerly anticipating started by sheer coincidence, leaving Hughes slightly taken aback.

He thought it would only trigger a hidden quest at most, but a big fish showed up instead!

Leading the Sabertooth Pirates to become the number one pirate crew in the East Blue, East Blue Hughes knew that, according to the system's definition, the continent of Ishgar was the East Blue.

In other words, the seventh sub-mission of this "Pirate Journey" will only be completed if Sabertooth Guild becomes the number one mage guild on the Ishgar Continent, allowing him to unlock an additional Devil Fruit Slot and gain a second Devil Fruit ability!

It's not difficult... no, it's very difficult.

In the original timeline, Natsu and the others were sealed on Tenrou Island, Sabertooth Guild was merely the number one mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.

"It seems there's no hope of completing this seventh sub-task in the short term, unless we can lure Black Dragon and Zeref in."

While Hughes was indulging in his wild ideas, the former members of the Sabertooth guild, who were huddled together, stared at each other blankly.

After a fierce exchange of glances, Dobengal, dressed as Ninja, was ruthlessly pushed forward.

Dobengal:(/TAT)/

He was tense all over, and he opened his mouth several times before daring to speak, "President Hughes, do you know where Jiemma went?"

Hughes, snapping out of his reverie, raised an eyebrow. "You're already missing him?"

"No, no!" Dobengal shook his head frantically in fear. "We are your people now, but we are afraid that Jiemma will come back to take revenge on us."

95

Hughes pointed to the flattened hill behind them. "His ashes have probably drifted to the next hill by now! Besides, I'm not Jiemma; I don't have a penchant for indiscriminate killing. Don't be so afraid of me!"

Upon hearing this, Dobengal and the others felt their worries lessen somewhat.

Jiemma was cruel and ruthless; his death would be good for everyone!

As for Hughes wanting to become the guild leader of Sabertooth, they don't care, as long as they can make money!

At this moment, someone in the crowd behind Dobengal raised their hand and asked, "President, what should we do next?"

Hughes turned and looked around; everyone except the unconscious Minerva was looking at him.

Hughes, who knew nothing about guilds, felt immense pressure. "Who here knew anything about guild operations and management before?"

He wanted to learn from experienced people to make better arrangements.

However, the scene suddenly became inexplicably quiet, so quiet that the sound of a distant wildfire could be heard.

Ten breaths later, Hughes's lips twitched involuntarily. Sure enough, the old saying was right: military generals are easy to find, but civil officials are hard to come by.

It seems he'll have to rely on himself...

Clearing his throat, Hughes looked intently at Dobengal and the other thirty-odd former members of the Sabertooth guild.

"The Sabertooth guild's motto is: 'Let the sky roar, let the earth boil, let the sea fall silent,' and Jiemma's of the Sabertooth has no place for the weak; I admire and support these two points, and the new Sabertooth guild will retain them!"

Upon hearing this, Dobengal and the others' expressions changed slightly. The Sabertooth didn't need the weak, but there was another half-sentence: the weak must disappear!

The reason why the Sabertooth guild only has these thirty-odd people is because everyone else was killed by Jiemma.

Just when they thought Hughes was as cruel as Jiemma, Hughes clapped his hands and continued, "But the new Sabertooth guild will only retain these two things: all that bullshit about the weak disappearing will be gone in the new guild."

"You need resources, you need magic, I'll find them for you. I only have one requirement for you: become stronger while maintaining your humanity."

As Hughes finished speaking, Dobengal and the others looked at each other in astonishment. Could there really be such a good guild in the world?

Could it be that he said that on purpose to deceive them?

Then, when the time is right, they will be sent to the Black Magic Cult.

Seeing their suspicious expressions, Hughes pointed to the Fairy Tail crest on his arm. "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. These things are nothing to the veteran 'Ten Wizard Saints,' Makarov, but..."

95

At this point, Hughes paused, and his body suddenly erupted in flames, the scorching heat forcing everyone to retreat.

"If I ever discover that anyone dares to betray me, the consequences will be far more severe than you can imagine!"

Dobengal and the others swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. Right now, send some people to build the guild, and others to keep the people in town in check. My identity as the new guild leader of Sabertooth will remain a secret for now!"

"Yes, Chairman."

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling open space was now empty except for Hughes, Mira, a few others, and a cat.

Mira couldn't understand why Hughes wanted to take over the Sabertooth guild, and hesitated to speak.

Hughes, noticing this, pinched her little cheek. "It's hard to explain, you'll understand in a few years."

Also, don't tell anyone about this, remember to keep it a secret!

Mira frowned slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

She wouldn't do anything Hughes forbade!

After dealing with Mira, Hughes looked up at the kid-like Rogue.

This person is the most important; he took over the Sabertooth guild partly for Rogue's sake...
